      For a bbq away from neighbours, maybe. In a woodstove they'd be terrible. Too green and still too high a moisture content - will smoke badly.

        At least they won't stink like pine needles - oh wait…

    Don't do what I did last year… I was required to visit the emergency ward just a week before Christmas. I ended up needing to get several pine needles removed from 'down there'.

    Last time I listen to the other half… they told me that if I wanted a tree, I could put it up myself… so I did…

      Ah, the joys of schadenfreude and also the horror of my imagination.

          It ain’t clean unless it’s Pine-o-Clean.

        • pennypincher98 on 24/12/2019 - 06:46

          Talk about being in the Christmas spirit!
          Saves on buying air freshener at least when you can make your own.

          The Ozbargaining is off the charts lol

      I don't think this will be an issue for anyone else. No one will be silly enough to hump it like you did :D

    • zzzman on 24/12/2019 - 07:15

      How did you get it up there? Did you sit on the Xmas tree?

      • demmogorgon on 24/12/2019 - 09:34

    I love the smell of the fresh trees and for that reason, if I was close, I would buy one for the house and one for the car.

    I do think, however, that these trees would be massively dry and they would keep longer if the stores kept the bases in water…

    • mangoed on 23/12/2019 - 21:41

      Even better when their bases are kept in the forest soil, this way they stay fresh forever.

          My neighbour planted their old Xmas tree, that Was 20 years ago, they don't look very Xmasy anymore… becoming a problem to the plumbing and foot paths now.

          • ATangk on 24/12/2019 - 01:48

            @tonsta: Just de-plant it.

          • Bluering48 on 24/12/2019 - 10:50

            @tonsta: Mine is in a pot, each year before Xmas, I bring it in, decorate it and after Xmas take it out again. Nothing can beat the living one.

            • tonsta on 31/12/2019 - 18:42

              @Bluering48: Yeah I feel you can leave it in the pot that's best.

    'Fresh' Christmas trees - those ones are so brown, they look more like the Fresh Prince of Belair.

    • gooddealmate on 23/12/2019 - 19:45

      Wow, they do look terrible. I'll bet they'll be in the dumpster out the back by tomorrow afternoon.

        The red netting doesn’t help them look green.
        I agree though that they are not well cared for.

    Are these imported? According to ABC news, Sydney, Greater Sydney, Greater Western Sydney, and some other parts of Australia have been completely destroyed by bushfires.

      "Are these imported?" No. They have been in store for a few weeks, and the trees come from private farms, not just plucked from the bush, koalas inclusive. lol

    I feel sorry to the young xmas trees as they were grown to be cut for xmas. After xmas they are ended in trubbish bin. What a waste of tree lives. They lived before being cut for xmas decoration. Sorry trees…

        Surely not if you reuse it every year (I realise that may not be the reality for a lot of people)

        • Borg on 25/12/2019 - 11:00

          You would need to use it for 10 years or so, I heard on the radio the other day. Fresh trees are much better for the environment and have a 3kg footprint vr 30kg in the making of a fake tree. Fresh trees also help prevent soil erosion and added benefit also when recyling etc. Was an interesting study.
          I have a fake one BUT found it on household clean up day……..I did my bit and save it going to landfill :-)

    These would make an ideal budget gift to place under the Christmas tree for visitors, but I imagine they'd be a nightmare to wrap. Certainly easier than puppies (which is why they say "not just for Christmas").
